WAR ROOM with Stephen K. Bannon.

Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesOct 7, 2026BrickHouse Nutrition offers a 20% discount on products when using the code BANNON.Said by 2BNone of the sources mention the code BANNON, so the specific promo code cannot be confirmed. Several coupon aggregators list 20% offers under other codes, and the brand's own promotions page reports no active sales, but none ties a 20% discount to BANNON on 2026-10-07.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesOct 7, 2026Signs supporting ballot initiatives were removed from the property of St. Francis Cabrini Catholic Church in Littleton, Colorado.Said by 2BNo provided source reports the claimed removal or theft of pro-initiative signs at St. Francis Cabrini in Littleton; the only evidence is the claimant's own account, which cannot corroborate itself. The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the post, which says the signs were 'torn down, stolen' from the church's adjacent lot.Can’t tell50% confidence3 sourcesOct 7, 2026Field of Greens offers a money-back guarantee if a doctor does not notice improved health at a user's next checkup.Said by 3AThe sources confirm Field of Greens (BrickHouse Nutrition) offers a money-back guarantee, but describe it as a 60-day, no-questions-asked full refund rather than a refund tied to a doctor's assessment at the next checkup. No source mentions a doctor-based condition, so the claim's distinctive terms cannot be verified as of 2026-10-07.Can’t tell45% confidence5 sourcesOct 7, 2026The Protect Kids Colorado signature submission had a 91% validity rating.Said by 2BMultiple outlets (Colorado Sun, The Center Square, Rocky Mountain Voice) report that Protect Kids Colorado executive director Erin Lee gave a 91% validity figure, and the extracted claim matches the post's wording. No source independently confirms the 91% rate, and the official state check reported only a projection above 110% of the required signature threshold, which is consistent with 91% but does not state it.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesAug 17, 2026Eric Swalwell was a former intelligence officer in the Navy.Said by AThe claim departs from the passage: the post has Steve Bannon telling Jack Posobiec, "since you're a former intelligence officer in the Navy," so the Navy intelligence background is attributed to Posobiec, not Swalwell. The sources do not establish Swalwell's military history, and the only one addressing it (an unrated civicrealism page) says "No military service on record," which is too weak to grade the claim false.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesAug 17, 2026A Chinese intelligence operation was involved in the Russia gate conspiracy to stop President Trump's first term.Said by BThe claim asserts a Chinese intelligence operation was involved in the Russia gate conspiracy, but the passage is the claimant's own commentary (Bannon) and the sources only show the claim being made in that broadcast, with a 2026 report from Just The News about Swalwell's alleged Chinese contacts; no source independently establishes that a Chinese operation was involved in the 2016-era Russia investigation. Sources on Russiagate (2018 FactCheck/PolitiFact) address only unrelated Chinese-interference claims and the 2023 indictment concerns a different Chinese influence operation, so the claim is not substantiated but also not clearly refuted on the same event.Can’t tell30% confidence8 sourcesAug 17, 2026The Chinese Ministry of State Security has installed cell phone sensors on a building near the White House to intercept signals.Said by BNo source reports that the Chinese Ministry of State Security installed cell phone sensors on a building near the White House. The 2018 DHS findings describe IMSI catchers near the White House with no identified operator, and the claim departs from the passage, which says the sensors "they can put up" (a capability), not that they have been installed. The claim is therefore unverifiable as stated.Can’t tell50% confidence6 sourcesAug 17, 2026The Ministry of State Security in China locks up individuals who organize underground Christian churches in Beijing.Said by BThe sources document police and other authorities detaining Beijing-linked underground church leaders, including Zion Church pastors in October 2025, but none attributes these arrests in Beijing to the Ministry of State Security. The extraction is faithful to the passage, where "they" refers to the Ministry of State Security, so the claim's specific agency is not confirmed or refuted. The claim is also a general characterization of the agency's routine conduct, and the sources do not establish that pattern.Can’t tell30% confidence4 sourcesAug 17, 2026More than 10,000 J1 visa holders work as nannies every year.Said by DNone of the sources give a count of J-1 visa holders working as nannies, so the 10,000 figure cannot be graded in either direction. The nearest figure is the au pair category, which a Wikipedia table lists at 21,449 participants in 2022, but au pairs are a separate category from nannies, and the CIS and EPI reports break out only summer-job and camp-counselor numbers.Can’t tell40% confidence6 sourcesAug 17, 2026The U.S. Heartland China Association, formerly known as the U.S. Midwest China Association, is an MSS United Front group.Said by 2CThe sources show USHCA is under House Select Committee scrutiny and has partnered with United Front Work Department-linked organizations, but none establishes that it is an MSS United Front group, and they do not confirm the 'formerly the U.S. Midwest China Association' name (USHCA's own history says it was originally the Midwest U.S.-China Foundation). The post itself calls it a 'tip of the spear MSS United Front group' as the poster's characterization, so the claim is graded as stated, not as an established finding. As of 2026-08-17 the record shows allegations and scrutiny, not a finding that the group is an MSS-directed entity.Can’t tell35% confidence5 sourcesAug 17, 2026Brian Cantwell, former Stanford aerospace chairman, has lectured at a Chinese university that has been blacklisted since 2001.Said by 2CThe only sources reporting that Cantwell lectured at Beihang (a May 9 to June 3, 2025 visit with six lectures) are the Natalie Winters Substack and outlets that repeat it, so they are circular rather than independent corroboration. The cited Beihang account is not among the sources, the Stanford profile does not mention a chairmanship or any China visit, and nothing in the sources contradicts the claim.Can’t tell45% confidence10 sourcesAug 17, 2026My Patriot Supply is trusted by over 3 million American families.The only source giving the 3 million figure is My Patriot Supply's own Facebook post, which says 'over 3,000,000 families' and is dated 2026-10-02, after the 2026-08-17 claim date. No independent source verifies or disputes the number, so the claim is unverified, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage.
